A New Departure.

New Departure.
The conviction has long been growing
strong and is slowly forcing itself upon the
mind of every Marylander, that the gro "a ing Of
cereal crops and tobacco is not profitable in
this State, and ss a dependence for an income
the farmers of our lower counties hould make
up their minds to let them e.. Locked upon
from a sta ndpoint Which strikes out entirely
these large field crops, no place in the world is
better fitted to become the very paradise Of
farn rners, than the lower counties of our ows
State of Maryland Consider how delightful
is the climate of this region. how il is surround
ed and pierc. by navigsble streams which al.
most pass every farmers d,,r, abounding in
their season with the very best Of hsh. oysters,
crabs, terrapin. wild ducks. geese, &c, aud the
soil adapted perfectly to the small fruits and
vegetables, peaches and pears, and kindred de-
partments Of farm produce, all within easy
reach of the markets of the grea, cities Of New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington,
both BY water and rail. why will the farmers
of this region continue to te il and s,arve over
wheat and tobacco. yielding no profit, when
their early berries. fruits, vegetables, sweei
corr, would be welcome at bouniiful prices 10
these great centres of population We would
suggest to the farmers Of these lower counties.
then, to commence this year TO prepare for
change in all their ia rmiug operations, achanRe
from ce ereas. to the rsisi,g Of fruits and rsseis
bles We believe this change is now inevitable
and the sooner it is made the better. We do
not advise the sudden abandonment Of the
others but only isis year make beginning
in the new departure the founds-
ton by setting apart certain portions Of the
farms for fruits and vegetables, and give the

peanuts. A very large amount of money 10
made every year in North Carolina and Viz
ginia from this crop. 1t has been said tba! .
mach larger profit. with less labor, is made
from peanuts on the same acreage, than from
cotton; and tha, the money comes more prompt
" than from almost any other source. These
Southern counties abound in the soil in which
peanuts thrive. We say, experiment judisious-
lv upon all the different departments on fruits
of all kinds, vegetables, and on peanuts, and
grow what may be best adapted to your land
and for which you may have the readiest mar
ket The past years have shown eonclusively

grown in their place. 1t certainly ca q be done,

The Trade Dollar.

financial institutions, hut banks and financial

Easter Thoughts.

Easter is with Us once more, with its heart
stirring cry of ''Christ is risen and because he
lives we shall live also" To tho whose
the outward daily forces that can be measured
BY thu hand and foot, this day with its exhil-
arating memories aud associations is meaning
less and carries to the soul no thrill Of joy, no
upspringing of hope that the stone at the
mouth of the sepulch'e ~kere their lost ones
are laid will yet be rolled away and immortal
beauty, instead of dust and ashes, awake from
the ruin. Easter has been emPhnt'cally call' )
